Motion text
THAT, aware that, the Community Health Promoters (CHPs) play an integral role in the delivery of primary health care at the community level by providing basic health services, including health promotion and education, disease prevention and early detection, support for maternal and child health interventions and community mobilisation; further aware that, Community Health Promoters serve as the first point of contact between households and the formal health system; concerned that, despite their important contribution to the realisation of the universal health coverage and the attainment of the highest attainable standard of health under Article 43(1) of the Constitution, Community Health Promoters continue to discharge these critical duties with inadequate facilitation and insufficient remuneration; acknowledging that, proper facilitation, motivation and fair remuneration of Community Health Promoters would enhance service delivery, strengthen preventive health care and reduce pressure on health facilities; cognizant of the fact that health policy is a function of the National Government, now therefore, this House resolves that the National Government formulates and implements a policy framework to guide on the recruitment and remuneration of the Community Health Promoters across the country.
